Pasta
A
History
Born in China approximately 40 centuries ago, pasta travelled the world until reaching the West. Originally produced from wheat flour and water, pasta underwent a change when it reached southern Europe, where new processes for making pasta using durum wheat, rich in high-quality gluten, were found. Pasta comes in many shapes and sizes, each for a specific type of sauce, and can be produced with addition of gluten, egg, malt or different flavours.
Healthy Diet
Pasta can be made from wheat, soy, rice, corn, buckwheat and other grains, as well as a variety of other ingredients including legumes and seaweed. Arbel's pasta products are produced using 100% durum semolina. Pasta is not only rich in carbohydrates, but 100 grams (4 ounces) of pasta can also provide 15 of the 70 grams of protein recommended for daily consumption, as well as vitamins and minerals. Good pasta should be cooked to "al dente" consistency. One of the delights of pasta is experimenting to see which kinds of pasta match best with your favorite sauces.
